Bacon/Agen SOTE

This world is full of sad songs, and there are a few happy songs too.  Annie Bacon understands that songs about grief draw from both these worlds:  sadness at the loss, happiness at the memory of the love that was there. There is no right or wrong way to feel about the events that shape our lives, but the journey we take to get to whatever comes next is where the songs of Annie Bacon live.  Often performing with a rotating cast of sympathetic sidemen she calls her "Oshen," tonight we get her here alone on a stool with a guitar and a few tools to pry open the hardest of hearts. 

Addison Agen was born in the 21st century, but she carries around a bit of the 19th in her bearing, her high plaintive voice, and her songs, which draw from old sources of whimsy and melancholy. Native to Indiana, resident of Nashville, and ambassador of the kitchen rug to the world, Addison travels the country, often accompanied by her partner Mike Gronsky, to remind people to look within for the seeds to their own resilience. Folk with a tinge of gospel, Addison's music will leave you thinking about calling your mother.
